The character cards possess the mechanic to \u201ctransform\u201d by flipping over their card to show different artwork, stats, and abilities. Transformers TCG was introduced at the 2018 Gen Con.&nbsp; Since then, the game has released a number of even-larger, Titan Character Cards. To protect all these cards, BCW offers several solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Battle Cards<\/strong> \u2013 standard size<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/catalogsearch\/advanced\/result\/?sku=1-DG-CLE\">Deck Guards<\/a> &#8211; clear sleeves<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=1-dgm\">Deck Guards<\/a> &#8211; various colors of sleeves<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/catalogsearch\/advanced\/result\/?name=Elite2\">Elite2 Deck Guards<\/a> &#8211; various colors of premium sleeves<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=Pro18s\">18-Pocket Binder Pages<\/a> &#8211; various colors<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mini-Bot Character Cards<\/strong> \u2013 standard size<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/catalogsearch\/advanced\/result\/?sku=1-DG-CLE\">Deck Guards<\/a> &#8211; clear sleeves<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Regular Character Cards<\/strong> \u2013 3.5&#8243; x 5&#8243;<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/board-game-sleeves-89x127\">89mm x127mm Board Game Sleeves<\/a> &#8211; clear sleeves<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/3-5x5-topload-holder\">3.5&#8243; x 5&#8243; Toploaders<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; clear, rigid PVC<br>Note the 89mm x 127mm Sleeve will not fit inside the 3.5&#8243; x 5&#8243; Toploaders.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcwsupplies.com\/laserweld-4-pocket-pages-50-ct-box\">4-Pocket Pages<\/a> &#8211; for storing cards in 3-ring binder<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Folding Combiner Cards <\/strong>\u2013 3.5&#8243; x 5&#8243; when flat \/ standard size when folded<br>Card protection depends upon your preference, as some players prefer to not fold their cards.

It features a secure, latching lid with beveled insets that keep cards in their cells. Each cell holds 60, single-sleeved cards. Two cells can be combined by removing the divider between them to open up space for oversize cards (in toploaders too). The dice tray is removable and you can store one of the cell dividers beneath it. The Prime X4 also features a tray that is great for tokens, pencils and pens, and poker chips. This gaming box was designed with Transformers TCG in mind, but also works great for Pokemon, KeyForge, Magic: The Gathering, and many other games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Transformers TCG is a fun, light card game featuring a deck of battle cards and a selection of characters.
